While I like these maps, I do wish there were more exotic locales since those are the harder to get maps for. Extra-Planar dimensions would be nice, or underwater settings, or cloud castles, or large Amazon Jungle-type communities with rope bridges and tree houses.

Also, if buying this bundle and you like things organized, prepare yourself for some organizational work. I'm finding duplicates of pdfs downloaded as well as the zip files that contain them. Also, some of the files are named generically (such as 'LetterPack.pdf') without an indication of what pack they belong to. This *could* be RPGDriveThru's download of them, but I don't think so. Again, doesn't detract from the quality of the content, just the organization of the files.

It's cheaper to purchase each one individually. I totaled the price adding each individual map at the normal non-discounted price (as listed) and it comes to a total of $18.81. Some of the bundled prices are higher than the regular prices (look at the first few). I understand that the .99 pricing is based on their current "Black Friday" sale, but should not the bundle also be discounted further? Otherwise there is no incentive to purchase all the maps at once.

PUBLISHER

Bruce that is because right now all the maps are priced 99 cents for our Black Friday/cyber monday sale which is only running till DEC 4th. they are normally $2 more a piece.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
